It supports Poly Haven assets and Hyper3D Rodin.","category":"AI","language":"Python","stars":23326,"forks":743,"owner":"ahujasid","github_url":"https://github.com/ahujasid/blender-mcp","homepage":null,"setup":"## Setup\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Blender 3.0 or newer\n- Python 3.10 or newer\n- uv package manager:\n\n**If you're on Mac, please install uv as**\n```bash\nbrew install uv\n```\n**On Windows**\n```bash\npowershell -c \"irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex\" \n```\nand then\n```bash\nset Path=C:\\Users\\nntra\\.local\\bin;%Path%\n```\nOtherwise installation instructions are on their website: [Install uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)\n\n**⚠️ Do not proceed before installing UV**\n\n### Claude for Desktop Integration\n\n[Watch the setup instruction video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neoK_WMq92g) (Assuming you have already installed uv)\n\nGo to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config > claude_desktop_config.json to include the following:\n\n```json\n{\n    \"mcpServers\": {\n        \"blender\": {\n            \"command\": \"uvx\",\n            \"args\": [\n                \"blender-mcp\"\n            ]\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n### Cursor integration\n\nRun blender-mcp without installing it permanently through uvx. Go to Cursor Settings > MCP and paste this as a command.\n\n```bash\nuvx blender-mcp\n```\n\nFor Windows users, go to Settings > MCP > Add Server, add a new server with the following settings:\n\n```json\n{\n    \"mcpServers\": {\n        \"blender\": {\n            \"command\": \"cmd\",\n            \"args\": [\n                \"/c\",\n                \"uvx\",\n                \"blender-mcp\"\n            ]\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\n[Cursor setup video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgWsJshecac)\n\n**⚠️ Only run one instance of the MCP server (either on Cursor or Claude Desktop), not both**\n\n### Installing the Blender Addon\n\n1. Download the `addon.py` file from this repo\n2. Open Blender\n3. Go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons\n4. Click \"Install...\" and select the `addon.py` file\n5. Enable the addon by checking the box next to \"Interface: Blender MCP\"","tools":"## Available Tools\n\n1.  Two-way communication (Connect Claude AI to Blender through a socket-based server)\n2.  Object manipulation (Create, modify, and delete 3D objects in Blender)\n3.  Material control (Apply and modify materials and colors)\n4.  Scene inspection (Get detailed information about the current Blender scene)\n5.  Code execution (Run arbitrary Python code in Blender from Claude)\n6.
